The craftworlds of the Eldar are scattered across the stars, massive drifting starships that are home to the last survivors of a race that once ruled the universe. Now the Eldar battle against the other races of the galaxy, even resorting to piracy in their fight to avoid extinction.

More than any other army, the Eldar are made up of highly specialist squads, HQ types, and vehicles. When a masterful commander can play each squad of model to its strengths, the Eldar become a nigh unstoppable force. In the hands of a novice, the army is fragile and easily broken. Blending the right mix for each game is an art unto itself.
